If Sachin is God, Gayle is Godzilla
Chris Gayle smashed all
the way to reach a milestone of scoring the fastest century in any form of
Cricket in just 30 balls in the Pepsi Indian Premier League (IPL) match against
Pune Warriors India on Tuesday in Bangalore. Gayle scored an unbeaten 175 in
just 66 balls with 17 massive sixes and 13 fours and helped Royal Challengers
Bangalore (RCB) to reach 263 in 20 overs.

Gayle’s 30-ball century eclipsed the 34-ball hundred
scored by Australian Andrew Symonds for Kent against Middlesex in 2004. The left-hander
also posted the highest individual score in a Twenty20 game, going past New
Zealander Brendon McCullum’s 158.
It was an unbelievable innings played by one-man
demolition army Chris Gayle that smashed a whole lot of T20 records.
